The Page Valley Arts Council is planning our second annual Festival of the Arts on April 13-14,2019 from 10am-5pm each day. We are looking for artists or writers who are interested in demonstrating their craft — with the tools or process they use to create. You can sell your creations as well, as long as you also demonstrate.

There is no charge to participate, but artists who do not show up at the last minute will not be invited back. Please see the information sheet below for all details.

If you are interested, have any questions, or would like us to pencil you in, please contact either Jim or Susan at:

Auditions will be Wednesday and Thursday (Sept. 19 and 20) at 7:00pm at the Trackside.

Roundhouse Players is pleased to announce auditions for their Christmas show – ‘The Christmas Express” by Pat Cook.

A small town railway station, with eccentric small town characters, and two mysterious strangers make for an unforgettable day the day before Christmas eve. Hilda, the station manager, has declared, “This is the most hopeless place in the world.” Enter Leo and impossible things start happening – a group of carolers no longer sound like a group of cats being bathed, unscheduled trains arrive, humbugs are actually looking forward to Christmas. A lively comedy ensues.

We are becoming an arts destination–last week, more than 30 people showed up to make clay turtle bowls at the Warehouse Art Gallery, in a free art workshop conducted by Cathie Miranda.

This Saturday, we had a great turnout to make clay house-themed ornaments and enjoy music by Keith Traylor.

Shenandoah Moon offered a class in jewelry making, and in the evening, the Arts & Artisans Gallery featured Lee Brennan, who regularly performs at the Griffin Tavern in Flint Hill and other venues throughout the region.

Every week, there is so much to see and do in Page County. Enjoy this fantastic arts destination.

Blackberry Cobbler a la mode – Shenandoah National Park For many Shenandoah National Park visitors, it’s all about the blackberries. Starting mid-summer, thickets of Shenandoah blackberries ripen in the open areas along the roads, trails and streams of the national park.

Blackberry Delight is an annual event that celebrates the sweet-tart fruit in all its glory. Skyland chefs create special blackberry-infused dishes combined with a full day of live music, dancing, local crafts, pony rides, and kid’s activities to make it a fun day for the entire family!
